"The MMPA newsstand program is a perfect example of everyone winning—the publishers, retailers and consumers. By competitors joining forces to create scale in the distribution channel, the MMPA has eased the barriers retailers face when evaluating whether to sell magazines. Dealing with a single organization rather than multiple individual publishers cuts retailer handling time in administering a magazine program. This allows stores to carry more titles, driving distribution, sales and profitability for retailers and publishers—while giving consumers a broader selection." - John Bean, Executive Vice President, RetailVision

MusicMags Program Highlights

Discount: 40% off the cover price.

Deliveries: We pay all shipping charges! We can ship to multiple store locations under one account.

Frequency: The frequency of shipments to your store will be determined by your selection of magazines and their schedules. Magazines will arrive a few days prior to their on-sale date.

Suggested order: 10 copies per title, per issue. Minimum 5 copies.

Return Policy: We issue FULL CREDIT for unsold copies for up to 60 days past the off-sale date of the magazine. (Magazines go off sale when the next issue arrives.) Simply tear off the covers of your unsold copies and return to our address below in the remittance envelope provided with your bill.

Billing: Each month you will receive a consolidated invoice and statement of account, reflecting your latest magazine delivery, plus new payments and return credits.

Payment terms: Payment is due 60 days past invoice date. So, you enjoy the benefit of the full sales period before it's time to make a payment.

Credit Policy: Shipments are automatically suspended when your balance is 60 days past due.

Benefits of Membership

If you are a music dealer, MusicMags is for you. Launched in January 1998, more than 1,500 music dealers are benefiting from consolidated shipping, billing, returns processing and customer service.

Previously, music stores faced a maze of proprietary publishers' systems, each with separate contracts, statements, purchase orders, shipments and returns hassles. Under MusicMags, you can order as many different titles as you want and get one bill, one consolidated statement and deal with just one distributor, RetailVision. The magazines are even consolidated for shipping so that stores receive all their issues at one time.
